It is common sense to take a method and try it. If it fails, admit it frankly and try another. But above all, try something.
~Franklin D. Roosevelt~
Trying something is important. This Roosevelt guy knows what he’s talking about. What would life be like if we didn’t try? Mom tries all the time. She tries to write awesome stories.
She tries to write funny poems.
She tries to get unusual ideas and to dream up unique characters.
Even though Roosevelt says to – she doesn’t frankly admit failure, but she does keep on trying something.
I try all the time, too. I try to sit on my ParkIt Mat.
This is boring…
I try to reach things on the table.
I try to fetch the ball and to walk past things even if they’re scary.
Like Mom, I never admit failure. I only admit, “Oh well.” and “Maybe next time.” and “Is that pumpkin trying to kill me?”
*gulp*

I had a feeling it was a human thing, F. I must’ve learned it from Mom.

Awesome! Watch out for that pumpkin.
I’ve got my eye on him, C.!

What a brave girl you were getting THAT close to that dog-eating pumpkin Cupcake! It’s important to “TRY”…..I agree…..I’m always “TRYING” to pull a fast one on my Mom – keeps her on her toes!
Kitty Hugs, Sammy
You’re great at keeping your parents on their toes, S.! Without you, they’d get lazy!
Love and licks,
C
Awwww you are furry brave whee think!
Happy Friday

Thanks, boys. I’m trying to get past some of my fears.

I think the pumpkin is safe…. it’s also edible. But mom would probably yell at ya to “leave it.” *sigh*
You know her well, R. If I could get close enough, I’d definitely try to taste it, though…
Love and licks,
C
Yes, he was right. It’s important to try something. again&again. Hope the pumkin has no clue about this quote and tries to try something :o)
If that pumpkin tries to try anything, I’ll bite his stem off. …..Or run away….
Love and licks,
C
Pumpkin is your security 🙂
At least it doesn’t have an actual face… That would be spooky!
Love and licks,
C
Hey Cupcake
I’m trying not to laugh at you with that scary pumpkin!
Stay safe,
Your pal Snoopy 🙂
Thanks, S. I’m trying hard to be brave. The first 10 times I saw that thing, Mom said she’d need to set her camera on panorama to get the pumpkin and me in the same shot.
Love and licks,
C
Homicidal pumpkins are a threat to national security!
Thanks for the support, W and E. This is not my imagination!
Love and licks,
C
You got a strike in the video! Go chew up that nasty pumpkin!
I WANT to chew it up, J. I just can’t seem to get close enough.
Love and licks,
C
Oh Cupcake, you sure are a brave girl, that pumpkin could leap at you at any moment!!
I know, M. That’s why I’m staying vigilant!
Love and licks,
C
That pumpkin does look scary, it’s probably bigger than you are.
I can get my nose on the table like you, only I can do that with all four paws on the floor.
Bless your tall, strong, gorgeous legs, C. My legs are tiny, but if anybody leaves a chair sticking out, I’m up on the table like a flash.
Love and licks,
C
If you do anything immediately right, then you cannot try it again, can you?
That’s right, K. I’d love to do something right the first time!
Love and licks,
C
But that could be boring! New attempts bring variety!
I like your mom’s outlook on failure and doesn’t give up. None of us can. 🙂
We can’t, P. You’re right about that. Life would be boring if we didn’t try and try.
Love and licks,
C
that goes with “if at first you don’t succeed, try, try again!”
You’re right, D, C, and C. I try everything again and again. One of these days, I plan to get it right.
Love and licks,
C
Fun! I like your post, C! 😀
Thanks, E. Fun is my favorite job.
Love and licks,
C
That pumpkin does indeed look scary! I’m trying to come up with unique characters too. I’m behind with only 11,000 words for my nano novel. I wasn’t planning to start one and got encouragement from a friend 5 days after nano begun. -.- Oh well!
Thanks, A. 11,000 doesn’t sound too bad since you started 5 days late. It takes Mom a couple of years to write 11,000 words. I’m pretty sure she’s lazy….

C
Those rice krispies and that ball are inspiring me to drool. That Mr Roosevelt is pretty clever – just do something!
Rice Krispies are yummy. …I think… Once Mom gave me a couple. I ate them so fast, I had to check the floor to see if they fell. I forgot to taste them.
Love and licks,
C
Great quote, Cupcake. You’re so brave on trying it all out and don’t be afraid of the pumpkin, he’s probably trying too 😉 Pawkiss 🙂
That’s what I’m afraid of Little B. He might be trying something dangerous.
Love and licks,
C
Bawahwhahahahw your face in the Pumpkin photo is priceless Cupcake xxoxxx
Mollie and Alfie
That’s my scared face, M. I wear it a lot!
Love and licks,

You are the model of perseverance, Cupcake!
Thanks, WIM2S! I’ve always wanted to be a model! Maybe Victoria’s Secret will hire me for their lingerie show! Yay!
Love and licks,
C
Lovely photos Cupcake! You never need to try too hard hard to look so cute 🙂
Thanks, B. Cute is always what I’m after. Kinda like your puppies.
Love and licks,
C
Keep calm and keep on keepin’ on…
Yay! That’s exactly what we love to do!
Love and licks,
C
You are just so cute, Cupcake 🙂 You and mom must keep shining 🙂
Thanks, H. I like to shine!
Love and licks,
C
Eeek better watch out for that pumpkin. You sure are brave Cupcake.
Thanks, C. That pumpkin is definitely up to something sinister. I’m not making any sudden moves around him….
Love and licks,
C
Your mom writes wonderful stories!!! That pumpkin just needs to be told that can be made into pie… hehehehe by the looks of that bowl you were able to get to the table! 🙂
